Sopa con Camarones

Ingredients:

1/4 c. red onion, finely chopped
juice from 1 lime (~ 2 T)
1 cucumber, chopped small
1 can diced organic tomatoes
1 roma tomato, chopped small

12-15 medium shrimp, thawed and peeled
1 c. (razor) clam juice
hot sauce (few dashes)
1/2-1 tsp. minced garlic
salt & pepper

Method:

1. Chop the onion and soak it in lime juice while chopping the other ingredients. Then mix it with the first five ingredients in a bowl adding some salt and pepper.

2. Put the mixture into a blender. Add cilantro, reserving 1/2 cup in a bowl. Blend the mixture until smooth then stir in reserved cup of cilantro. Stir in the hot sauce, remove the blender container and put it in the fridge (or pour into a bowl first).

3. Put the shrimp in a small (sauté) pan with the clam juice on medium/low. Allow the shrimp to cook, stirring occasionally. Add a bit of salt.

4. Once the shrimp is cooked, remove it from the stove and allow it to cool a bit. Then mix it with the other ingredients in a bowl. Season to taste. Buen Provecho!
